When crochet time is tight, the best garments to make are ones that will give you the most wear, like this cardigan. Go for a classic look and match with smart tailored trousers or a dress, or pair it down with different-textured fabrics for casual style.

Cardigan is worked from the bottom up in one piece to armholes, then divided for Fronts and Back. Sleeves are made separately and sewn in, then an edging is added all around.
